Lake Nimrod has always been a crappie rich impoundment. Over the last 30 years or so the size of slabs have steadily decreased and now the lake is full of 8 to 9 inch small crappie. There are still plenty of large fish out there but you might have to catch 20+ small ones between good fish.
I was hoping that we could get into an "intelligent" discussion about why this is and what could be done to try to bring this lake back to the way it used to produce big slabs on a regular basis.
What are your opinions on length limits and other management tools. Personally, from small pond experience, I think that some of your daily limit should be required to be small crappie. I have personally seen crappie overcrowding ruin a good pond.
